Threemite Elektrocut abrasive cloth substitute?
I am repairing a delamination in a bonded joint (a fuel leak in a wet wing), and the manual specifies Threemite Elektrocut abrasive cloth for surface preparation. This is an aluminium oxide abrasive cloth, and as far as I can guess, it leaves no abrasive particles after sanding, which is indeed important in my case as I am sanding the inside of a narrow slit. It doesn't seem to be available in Europe - can anyone recommend a proper substitute?

I ask because if you look at this 3M make it, so perhaps approach 3M just make sure you get the correct grade if it is.

Thanks for the tip, NutLoose. A search through matching part numbers revealed the Elektrocut product to be the same as 3M 211K Utility Cloth; there is also a better variant (with a stronger bonding) called 314D Utility Cloth.
